< Hosea 6 >

1 “Come on! Let's go back to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces, but now he will heal us. He has struck us down, but now he will bind up our wounds.
“Umaykayo, agsublitayo kenni Yahweh. Ta rinangrangkaynatayo, ngem paimbagennatayonto; sinugatannatayo, ngem bedbedannanto dagiti sugattayo.
2 In two days he will heal us; after three days he will raise us up so we can live in his presence.
Kalpasan ti dua nga aldaw ket papigsaennatayonto; pagungarennatayonto iti maikatlo nga aldaw, ket agbiagtayonto iti sangoananna.
3 Let's get to know the Lord, really strive to know him, and he will appear to us as surely as the sun will rise; he will come to us as certainly as the spring rains fall on the earth.”
Am-ammoentayo ni Yahweh; ikagumaantayo nga am-ammoen ni Yahweh. Ti iyuumayna ket sigurado a kas iti idadateng ti parbangon; umayto isuna kadatayo a kasla arbis, kas iti tudo iti tiempo ti panagrurusing a mangsibog ti daga.”
4 Ephraim, what shall I do with you? Judah, what shall I do with you? Your love disappears like mist at dawn; it vanishes like dew in the morning.
Efraim, ania ti aramidek kadakayo? Juda, ania ti aramidek kadakayo? Maiyarig ti kinapudnoyo iti angep iti agsapa, a kas iti linnaaw a nasapa a mapukaw.
5 So I cut you down through the prophets; I killed you with my words. My judgment shines out like a light.
Isu a tinupekko ida babaen kadagiti profeta, pinatayko ida babaen kadagiti sasaok. Maiyarig dagiti bilbilinmo iti silaw nga agranranniag.
6 I want your true love, not your sacrifices; I want you to know me, not your burnt offerings.
Ta tarigagayak ti kinapudno, saan ket a daton, ken ti ad-adda a pannaka-ammoyo kaniak, a Dios ngem kadagiti daton a mapuoran.
7 But you, just like Adam, broke our agreement, there you were unfaithful to me.
Kas kenni Adan, sinalungasingda ti katulagan; saanda a napudno kaniak.
8 Gilead is a city of evil people where footprints are tracked in blood.
Ti Galaad ket siudad dagiti managdakdakes, napnoan kadagiti tugot iti dara.
9 Priests are like a gang of bandits, lying in wait to ambush travelers on the road. They commit murder in Shechem, carrying out wicked crimes.
Kas iti panaguray ti bunggoy dagiti agtatakaw iti maysa a tao, kasta met ti bunggoy dagiti papadi nga agpapatay iti dalan nga agturong idiay Sikem; nagaramidda kadagiti nakababain a krimen.
10 I have seen in the house of Israel something totally disgusting: Ephraim engages in prostitution and Israel is sexually corrupt.
Iti balay ti Israel ket nakakitaak iti makarimon a banag; impaay ti Efraim dagiti bagbagida iti panagdayaw kadagiti didiosen, ket narugitan ti Israel.
11 And as for you, Judah, your harvest-time has been set! When I restore the fortunes of my people,
Kasta met kenka Juda, naitudingen ti panagapit, inton isublik dagiti kinabaknang dagiti tattaok.
